4 Ingredient No Bake Lemon Cloud Pie
This easy no bake lemon pie has an airy, cloud-like filling. It is a cool and refreshing dessert that can be made ahead of time.
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup (4 fl oz/118 ml) lemon juice
- 1 (14 oz/397 g) can full fat sweetened condensed milk
- 2 cups (144 g) Cool Whip, thawed, or 1 cup heavy cream (8 fl oz/237 ml)
- 1 (9-inch) premade graham cracker pie crust
Instructions
- Combine lemon juice and condensed milk in a large mixing bowl. Whisk until lemon juice is fully incorporated. The mixture should be thick.
- Using a spatula, fold the Cool Whip into the lemon mixture. If you are using heavy cream, first add the heavy cream to a mixing bowl and beat on highest speed until soft peaks form. Then fold it into the lemon mixture. I added the cream in 3 batches. You do want to be careful not to overmix. You want the cream fully incorporated but you want the mixture to stay thick and airy and not become too runny.
- Pour filling into the graham cracker crust. Use a spatula to spread the filling evenly across. Place pie into the fridge for several hours to set. Optional: 1-2 hours before serving you can place the pie into the freezer. While the filling sets with only refrigeration, it can be difficult to cut and serve clean slices of the pie because of how delicate the graham cracker crust is. If desired, decorate pie with additional thawed Cool Whip or whipped cream before serving. Use a large sharp knife to cut the pie into slices. Store uneaten pie in fridge or freezer.
Notes
- You can use fresh squeezed lemon juice or store bought lemon juice. I used store bought. If using store bought, make sure that the only ingredient is lemon juice. Just because it is labeled "100% lemon juice" does not necessarily mean there aren't other ingredients in the bottle so make sure to check the nutrition label. I used Santa Cruz Organic 100% lemon juice*. The RealLemon brand (sometimes in those little lemon shaped containers) will not work.
